  • 0bsoleet1337 0bsoleet (@0bsoleet1337) reported

    @Thedeviant0 Relogging doesn't seem to have resolved the issue, but maybe it will an hour from now lol. Whatever the case I stand by the time honored tradition of yelling at Blizzard to fix their ****. Especially their lazily patched "free to play" micro-transaction Overwatch 1.

  • amypearson624 Amy Pearson (@amypearson624) reported

    Honestly at this point I think everyone who paid for the overwatch 2 bundle should all get refunds and keep the game it's not our fault it's broken.. really what was the point of the beta??? #Overwatch2 #refundall #lockedcharacters

    Started playing overwatch 2 since the 5th and I’ve been playing it a lot. Problems, though: the goddamn queues, why are my characters locked off I’ve had this game years, and every 20 sec all the heroes fly in diff directions and makes it impossible to track enemies

  • Jackeea_ Jackeea (@Jackeea_) reported

    btw, a fix for this - restart the blizzard app (not just overwatch) and this should do it a better fix is to play paladins instead 🤡

  • ncarvern913245 Nathan Carver (@ncarvern913245) reported

    @TheyCallMeDSP: All, I have to change my schedule plans for the week. With Overwatch 2 again not working, which tanked my stream, I’m now again streaming Tuesday night: a make-up session for Sunday’s missed Bassmaster stream! This means no fishing this coming weekend so I ca…
